My daughter first got her period when she was 11 years old... she's now 15. Her periods have never been regular... she always has long gaps between them. It has been months since she has had one. Should I bring this up with her a Dr. ? Is this pretty common in teenagers? She gets a normal amount of exercise and has a healthy diet.
Any info would be great.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how normal I was but I got my first period at 11. Even at 15 I'd skip a month sometimes. I didn't skip more than one month. I didn't go the average 28 - 30 days until I was 25 and had kids.

Hi Beth and welcome to the board.


It isn't unusual for girls to have irregular cycles early on.
